Top issues during term (18)(Public Safety)
Demolition by neglect and enforcement cases
Slow enforcement depresses neighboring property values and the fines only accrue late in a lengthy process.
Johnson Street streetlights
Installation and electric costs for the new lights, not specified.
Demolition by neglect enforcement
Enforcement actions and deferred maintenance on these buildings can cost owners significantly, and neglected structures can drag down surrounding property values.
Communication with redevelopment-area residents
A small budget for marketing materials (cards, one-sheets) may be added under the ~$3,400 supplies line.
Feral Cat Management
Census costs could be minimal with volunteers, but remedies like high-volume spay-neuter clinics could cost millions later.
Pedestrian safety at downtown crossings
Future signal upgrades depend on available funding.
Street Light Maintenance and Ordinances
Additional Street Lights on Pasteur, Cypress, and North Cool Streets
Installation and ongoing lighting costs would fall to the city.
Downtown policing and event security
Voluntary off-duty overtime shifts for downtown security have had no takers so far due to FLSA scheduling constraints.
Highway safety grants for police
$50,000 in grants with no local match required.
Homelessness and Downtown Bench Dividers
$3,000 in MSD funds for dividers; broader solutions not yet costed.
Open Burning Permits for Land Clearing
Developers warn a ban would raise housing construction costs.
Blue Water Rise Streets, Safety, and Theft Concerns

2814 Oakland Avenue demolition
About $9,243 plus asbestos abatement, though demolition funds are currently depleted.
Fire Mutual Aid with MCAS Cherry Point
